Jantastic Yarns

Saturday, 20 April 2013

I made this small purse (9 x9 inches) for my 14-year-old. I am in love with this reclaimed silk and wool yarn from http://www.darngoodyarn.com/ which I bought at my new favourite store http://sochickadelic.com/ Both Darn Good Yarn and Chickadelic Salvage and Design can also be found on facebook. I also picked up some Darn Good Yarn sari silk ribbon yarn that I am currently playing with,

My 16-year-old daughter was bugging me for ages to crochet a backpack for her. I used this pattern as a basis and modified it a little http://blog.susannawinter.net/backpack. Very happy with the results and she loves it.

I've been really pleased with the results using these wool dryer balls with my laundry. I've also had positive feedback from some people who have bought them from me. Here are some recently made dryer balls. Two sets are wool yarn and the others are wool roving (which felts very well) and yarn.
